Kindred Spirits

-





This weekend the boys spent a lot of time at their new table from Nana.  On Sunday after church they ate lunch at the table while watching "The Incredibles."

Later in the day Finn, Sam and I gathered around the table and we all colored.  We had a great time.  I turned the "Frozen" soundtrack on and Finn and I colored in his new Ninja Turtles coloring book while Sam made any and every attempt he could to steal the markers from me.  Sam did color in his Mickey Mouse coloring book for a little bit.  It was one of those great moments that I will always remember.  Music does that to me.

Before bed, Finn and Sam ate animal crackers at their new table.

I have to say - I LOVE this table.

Last night during bath time, Finn and Sam were doing "tricks" and asking me to watch. I they were so funny.  I asked Finn,r"are you having a good time with your brother?"  He said, "yes, I really like Sam when he is in the bathtub and not getting into anything."

On Monday I learned that Sam and his new teacher are kindred spirits.  When I picked him up she asked me if Sam watches "Les Mis."  I smiled, and said yes.  She got super excited and said, "I knew he was singing "Look Down."   She told me that it was destiny because she loved "Les Mis" too.   I was so happy - and a little relieved.  I was concerned that Sam would get in trouble for singing "Look Down" at school.  I imagine his teacher really don't want Sam running around singing, "Jesus doesn't care."  

When we got home Sam played with his new blocks while Finn and I played with one of his puzzles.  Later that night Finn, Sam and Daddy pulled all the pillows off of the bed and made a big mosh pit in the middle of the hallway. 

Before bed, Finn colored and Sam read.  Overall we had a really nice night.

Today we woke up at 6:30 to prepare for our big day at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. The shuttle from the hotel left for the park at 8:00 meaning that we had to be downstairs and ready to go at 7:45. At 7:30 we realized that we had to book our spot on the shuttle the night before. Oops. For two people with jobs requiring close attention to detail we completely fall apart in our personal life. Fortunately we were able to purchase a ticket and catch the 8:00 shuttle anyway. The shuttle ride was interesting; we ended up sitting behind a young couple that could have left about 90% of their PDA in their hotel room and it still would have been too much for my taste. When we got to the park we noticed our ticket required that we show I.D. Well, I didn't bring my purse with me. Oops. After reading and rereading the fine print, we lawyerly types figured out an interpretation that would allow me to get into the park without producing photo i.d. We geared up for the fight

Wednesday night I got a strange phone call from Michael; he asked if I could get an ice pack and a couple ibuprofen ready for him.  Check it out . . .   He went to the doctor Thursday morning and came home with a boot, a pressure sock and a pair of crutches.  Looks like he will be out of commission for approximately two months.

On Sunday morning we slept until 9:30!  Finn was up with the sun, of course, but Sam slept until a little after 9:00. When we got up the sun was shining so we decided to hang the boys gourd bird house from Mr. Gene.  So far we have really enjoyed going to church on Sunday night.  Finn specifically told me that he likes night church better because he can get up and play.  The boys had a pajama party at school today.  It was in honor of Ms. Jenn's last day before maternity leave.  Finn was very excited to show his friends his godzilla feet. Big morning for Finn.  Last night was the first night that we have not put a nighttime pull-up on Finn.  He woke up with a dry bed!
